OOOO SO FF Or ow we © ANN LANDERS Gran dfather Becomes Younger Every Year Dear Ann Landers: I've read some pretty stupid advice in your column but telling that 70- year-old grandfather to wait un- til 1967 to take his 18-year-old granddaughter on a trip to Eu- rope just because he couldn't afford separate rooms this year was the dumbest thing yet. To begin with, the grand- father might not be here in 1967 and 'that girl could miss a chance of a lifetime just be- cause you didn't think it was proper, If a girl can't trust her own grandfather, for heaven's sake, who can she trust? I'll bet Grandpa has changed that girl's diapers and given her a bath dozens of times. Your 'advice was dumb and I hope it was ignored.--Judi Dear Judi: Gramps may well have changed the girl's diapers and given her baths--not not 'Jately, dearie, Little girls do * grow up to be big girls. Apparently you were so ig- 'nited by my advice that you 'didn't bother to read Gramps' 'Jetter. He described himself as "full of pep and a_ real swinger." This is not to suggest *that I think gramps is a dirty +old man, but I did get the im- pression that he is likely to lve at least another year--which is the length of time he said it would take to save for separate rooms. Dear Ann Landers: You do a good job for a non-lawyer. I liked your advice to the father who wrote about his avaricious children, They were trying to| persuade him to stop spending | his money so they would in a sizeable estate. The next time you advise someone about estates, how- ever, do them a favor and sug-| gest that they leave the original | of the will with an attorney and) keep a copy. | Why? Father dies. Number two and three sons and their wives are the first to appear on the scene. They look in the desk for burial instructions--or out of sheer curiosity. They find dad's will. The lion's share is left to No. 1 son. So they de- stroy the will. Result: In most states the sons get equal shares. This sort of thing happens every day. It cannot occur if the original of the will is re- posing safely in the attorney's vault, Pass the word, will you please?--Attorney W, I. M. Dear W. I. M.: It's nice law- yers like you who help a non- 'lawyer like me alert millions of readers, to some important facts of life. We are all in your debt. Dear Ann: I'm 43 now and ever since Mike and I married I've helped him in business. When he sold cookware I washed dishes while he gave | the health talk. When he went to work for a trucking company jand his helper didn't show up I'd go along and help him un- load the furniture. Now we own la small cafe and I'm the cash- ier, bookkeeper and general | manager. | Last month Mike hired a go- go girl as a waitress. He said she'd be a drawing card. We |don't need a drawing card. We |need someone who will work-- and she won't. | I don't want Mike to think I am jealous. He is not a skirt- jchaser and I don't worry about lsuch things.

Good, Synthetic Appear On Jewelery Market By MARGARET NESS One reason why.emeralds are so expensive is that absolutely flawless emeralds are imposs- ibl to obtain. And Isss than 10 tal is of fine quality and good color, with the result that a really good natural one-carat per cent of uncut emerald crys- stone sells for as much as $5,000, However, good synthetic em- eralds now are on the market. Linde Stars in New York, be- sides creating star sapphires and star rubies, produces man- made emeralds, used in mak- ing fine costume jewelry. And there are many' imitation emeralds in the cheaper range, used for rings, bracelets and necklaces. This year a combination of} emeralds and pear!s is popular. Richelieu, Pearls introduced a two - strand short pearl neck- lace with a synthetic emerald clasp, an oval emerald ring out- lined in small pearls and match-| ing earrings. If you happen to be wealthy enough to give--or lucky enous hj to receive real emeralds, you're] in good company. The emerald has been known for about 4,000 years and, ac- cording to legend, was the fav-| cite of Venus, goddess of love. In early days emeralds came from mines in Egypt near the Red Sea and in 1000 BC_the Queen of Sheba brought gome as a gift to King Solomon. OWNED THE MINES Emeralds many times. It was worn by the royal family of Spain, came into English possession and then passed on to India. Ten years ago it was bought by a New York jeweler. One of the largest emeralds in the world hangs over the throne of Ahmet I in the Sera- glio, the group of palace build- ings of the sultans of Turkey that now are a museum, In early times, gems pvere supposed to possess certain powers which they transferred to the wearer. Because of its green color the emerald was thought to be good for the eye- sight. When worn ,it was said to be'a protection aguinst epilepsy, a cure for dysentery and an aid) to a woman in childbirth. It was also believed to be an indication of faithtulness. Worn by a faithful lover, it glowed green; worn by the faithless, it lost much of its color, | An emerald was supposed to} help you become eloquent or| improve a poor memory. And one early Greek writer suggested that by placing an emerald under your tongue, you automatically obtainer pro- phetic second sight. | | | SANDAL SORE FEET?

It wasn't until Queen Isabella of Spain financed Christopher Columbus that the richest source of emeralds was found --in South America. The queen had struck a good bargain with Columbus. She was to get one- fifth of all the jewels and gold he obtained from his discover- ies. Many of the jabulous stones she received were emeralds. When the Spaniards discov- ered Peru, the natives gave em- eralds to the soldiers as a token of friendship, believing them to be white gods. Later, of course the Spaniards seized every em- erald in sight. However, one huge emerald, considered to be a goddess by the Peruvians was so well - hidden from the Spaniards that it was never found. One of the most interesting pieces of emerald jewelry is the Crown of the Andes. A small Spanish settlement in the Andes mountains escaped the plague in 1590 and, in thanksgiving, made a crown for the statue of Our Lady of the Andes The crown i da 45-carat emerald, 17 pearl-shaped emeralds and many smaller ones. It was bought in 1936 by a syndicate of American jewelers. USED IN NECKLACE Another famous piece of em- eraid jewelry is the Dudley necklace. The emeralds were brought back to Spain by early explorers and madc into a nenk- lace. Included are several large pear-shaped stones and large - cuts, surrounded and ther- by diamonds. The necklace changed hands ; with hand an d body lotion. | ea oat | | j ANN SUM | CLEARANCE MILLINERY | values up but it should be used liberally. with Walt Disney, but he displayed little interest.
